Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3905618
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily select plural selection objects displayed on a display area.
SOLUTION: An input device 23 contains a display part 31 containing a display area where a coordinate system which is previously decided is set, an operation part 32 containing a selection key whose operation is made to correspond to a direction parallel to one reference axis which is set in the display area and a display control part 36. The display control part 36 displays the plural selection objects which are previously decided in an array where the coordinate values in the direction parallel to the reference axis of a reference point which is previously decided are not overlapped in the respective selection objects and the plural selection objects make plural rows and columns in the display area of the display part 31. One of the selection objects is selected. When an operator selects the selection key of the operation part 32, one selection object is changed in a selection order which is previously decided in response to the operation.
